WASHINGTON Jan 9, 2007 (AP)—
House Democrats moved Tuesday to implement some of the unfulfilled
recommendations of the 9/11 commission as the first in a string of
bills over the next two weeks aimed at asserting their new control
over Congress.
The bill would redirect homeland security funds to more urban areas
based on their likelihood of becoming a target of terrorists and
eventually require that all cargo containers bound for the United
States be scanned for nuclear materials and explosives.
"Here's a chance for Congress to stop dragging its feet," said
Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, the new Democratic chairman of the
House Homeland Security Committee.
"It's been three years since the 9/11 Commission issued its report.
Now is the time to put words into action."

That is a complete Democrat propaganda BS lie. Their first order of
business was NOT anything to do with 9/11. Their first order of
business was to change the 2/3 majority vote required for raising taxes
to a simple majority. The ability to raise taxes at will was the FIRST
priority since taking control. Anything to do with 9/11 was put off
until after the all so important BCS football game last night.

Nothing matters if they don't stop funding the war.
